Security Group Rule Visualizer
Convert security group rules into a readable traffic matrix and risk summary.
Which rules are public, which are risky, and where is this network policy too permissive?
How to use it
- Set the assumptions on the left until they match the workload you are reviewing.
- Validate the structured result, metrics, and recommendations before exporting.
- Copy or export the artifact directly into the design doc, ticket, runbook, or review packet.
What you leave with
- A readable rule matrix with direction, port, source, and description.
- Counts for total, public, and high-exposure rules.
- A risk-finding list teams can move into remediation tickets immediately.
Tool inputs
Security Group Rule Visualizer
Parse rules into a readable matrix and highlight risky exposure patterns.
Paste JSON or simple lines like: ingress tcp 443 0.0.0.0/0 web.
Shortcut keys: Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + C copies the current output, and Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + S saves a revision snapshot.
Result
Security group review
Parsed 3 rules, found 3 publicly reachable entries, and flagged 2 high-exposure patterns.
Rules
3
Total ingress and egress rules parsed from the input.
Public rules
3
Rules reachable from 0.0.0.0/0 or ::/0.
Risk findings
2

Filter line-level matches before you export or share the result.
Exposure review
Rules: - ingress tcp 443 from 0.0.0.0/0 (public-https) - ingress tcp 22 from 0.0.0.0/0 (remote-admin) - egress all all from 0.0.0.0/0 (outbound-any) Risk findings: - Review tcp/22 open to 0.0.0.0/0 (remote-admin) - Review all/all open to 0.0.0.0/0 (outbound-any)
